1	* "Only If For A Night" has a pretty beautiful lyric. Someone just showed up there when you was totally desperate to give you an advice. And said person is your passed away grandparent. AND said event happened in your dream.
2	-->''And I heard your voice''
3	-->''As clear as day''
4	-->''And you told me I should concentrate''
5	-->''It was all so strange''
6	-->''And so surreal''
7	-->''That a ghost should be so practical''
8	-->''Only if for a night''
9	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jiV0jD29c This performance of Heartlines.]] Florence spots someone holding a flower crown in the audience, and has it brought over so she can wear it. Then she has the audience sing the choral parts.
10	-->"Jake, will you grab my crown that's in the crowd? This is important!"
11	* ''Spectrum'' is definitely the [[LighterAndSofter lightest and]] [[SillyLoveSongs warmest tone-wise]] of her collection; it could be about two lovers free to express themselves without restraint.
12	-->''Say my name and every color illuminates''
13	-->''We are shining and we will never be afraid again''
14	* In May 2016, Florence visited a young fan in hospice care, Karinya Chen, who was too sick to go to the Florence + The Machine concert. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lasLJ6OD-i8 She gave a personal performance]] for her, her family, and her friends. More of a TearJerker now, as Karinya unfortunately passed away a few months later, but Florence went out of her way to give her a special afternoon.
15	* Whether she addresses [[NarratorAllAlong herself]] or someone in similar situation, [[YouAreNotAlone "Third Eye"]] brims with SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}.
16	-->''You don't have to be a ghost\
17	Here amongst the living\
18	You are flesh and blood\
19	And you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given\
20	And oh, how much!''
21	* "The End of Love" is as heartwarming as it is [[TearJerker tearjerking]], as it saw Florence finally let go of her painful relationship and moves on.
22	-->''We were reaching in the dark\
23	That summer in New York\
24	And it was so far to fall?\
25	But it didn't hurt at all\
26	And let it wash away, wash away''
27	* During the bridge of [[https://youtu.be/QMFeTxr-Lnw this performance of “Shake it Out,”]] Florence notices a fan in the front row leaning over the barrier with her arms over her face, crying (the fan later revealed in the [=YouTube=] comments of the performance that the reason why she was crying was because her best friend, who was also a F+TM fan, had recently taken her own life, and the song resonated with her emotionally). She immediately goes over to her and spends the next minute or so gently stroking her hair and her arms and hugging her, all while singing directly to her, and if you listen very closely right after she sings “Looking for heaven, found the devil in me,” you can hear her softly reassuring the fan “It’s okay.” During an instrumental break, she goes back to talk to her, and appears to kiss her hands.
